Agfa HealthCare, a leading provider of diagnostic imaging and healthcare IT solutions, announces today that it is presenting its next generation Computed Radiography (CR) solutions at the 91st Annual German Radiology Congress (DRK). The company’s new solutions, the DX-G and DX-M allow the use of both conventional phosphor imaging plates (PIP) as well as advanced needle-crystal detectors (NIP).

Agfa HealthCare's DX-G CR system offers users an outstanding level of flexibility for general radiography. The solution supports general radiology, extremities, neonatal and pediatric applications with the flexibility of handling both standard phosphor imaging plates and needle based detectors. Images can be read out in a standard resolution of 150 μm, or at a high resolution of 100 μm.

The DX-M CR system offers the ability to read NIP for Mammography requirements as well as both NIP and PIP for General Radiography. The dedicated mammography needle-based detector and dedicated mammography standard phosphor plate are compatible with existing breast imaging modalities, providing cost efficiency. In addition, the DX-M sports a top resolution of 50 μm for images in mammography. The solution is Agfa HealthCare's most complete CR system to date.

Both solutions offer high image quality, as well as high throughput delivered by a unique five cassette drop-and-go buffer and image preview within 13 seconds, enabling a seamless workflow.
